Former home minister Mekathoti Sucharitha finally met chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy at his camp office in Tadepalli on Wednesday. They were closeted for nearly half-an-hour and the former home minister came out smiling.

She blamed the media for misrepresentation of her letter as resignation letter. She said that she had sent a letter to the chief minister thanking him for making her the home minister. However, that letter was projected as resignation letter by the media.

Sucharitha was unavailable for the past three days indicating that she was not happy with the chief minister for not including her in the new cabinet. There were reports in a section of the media that Sucharitha had sent her resignation to the MLA post and would keep away from politics.

She was unavailable even for MP Mopidevi Venkata Ramana, who tried to hold talks and pacify the dissent leaders. He held talks with MLAs Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy and Samineni Udaya Bhanu, former minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy in the last three days. It is said that he had successfully communicated with these leaders and pacified them.

However, Sucharitha was not available even to senior leader and government adviser Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy on Tuesday. Finally, she made it on Wednesday and appeared at the chief minister’s office.

Sucharitha said that Jagan Mohan Reddy had given her greatest importance in the party and the government. She said she would continue to work for the party’s victory in the 2024 general elections. She finally said that she was unavailable for the leaders and the media due to health issues and not because of dissent.

AP Home Minister Mekathoti Sucharita rarely talks about the law and order situation in the state. When she does, she only blames the opposition parties on some pretext or the other. Now, she is talking on behalf of the Enforcement Directorate. No authorised officer from ED has come forward to give details of the alleged ED probe into the Amaravati real estate scam.

Sucharita is saying that the ED probe is going on into the purchase of multi-crore Capital City lands by poor people who have white ration cards. The AP CID has already filed cases against these poor persons and branded them as the benamis for the top TDP leaders including Nara Lokesh and others.

YCP MP Mithun Reddy has also raised the ED cases on Amaravati land scam in the Lok Sabha also. Apparently, the YCP Ministers and MPs are continuing their all out efforts to malign Amaravati to support their Capital shifting. Their attacks started just after Lok Sabha session began and Amaravati farmers are also in Delhi to mobilise support for Capital continuation.

AP Home Minister Mekathoti Sucharita openly defended religious conversions going on right in the vicinity of the Hindu temples. She asked Jana Senani Pawan Kalyan to explain how it is constitutionally wrong to convert those willing to change their faith. Her comments triggered a fresh controversy on the very caste status of all the SC, ST Ministers and MLAs and also those categories government officials who openly support CM Jagan Reddy.

Political circles are wondering how Sucharita could boldly and publicly defend conversions when she herself gave an election affidavit saying that she was a Hindu dalit. Only because of this affidavit, she could get elected from Prathipadu SC reserved MLA seat. Already, Tadikonda MLA Vundavalli Sridevi got stuck in an Election Commission of India probe into her alleged false affidavit on her Hindu dalit status. Because of the YCP woman MLAs, new controversies are coming up on the whole issue of the actual Hindu dalits not getting the reservation benefits. In recent days, videos are circulating that some Christian organisations are illegally entering Durga temple surroundings to carry on their religious propaganda. Pawan comments on this provoked Sucharita who is getting stuck in a complication just like MLA Sridevi.
